Holley M Heyert, DC

I get the positive reviews. That’s also why I went to see Dr. Heyert. Like what others commented, her massage is fine and she seems nice. But she doesn’t really personalize for different customers’ needs. I noticed that she kinda does the same things for all customers and always forgot that I had a constant left shoulder pain when I did not remind her (and I was seeing her twice a week). Well, I guess I get that because she has many customers and no time to review everyone’s file prior to every appointment. But another thing I did not really like was that I noticed she was texting several times while giving me a message.
The thing that really stopped me from going was that they cancelled my appointment via email at least three times every last minute. I gave them my phone number after the first time it happened and asked them to call me, instead of emailing me. After my appointment, I had morning classes so I could only see her at 8AM. The traffic was always bad, so I had to wake up at 6AM and be stuck in traffic for at least an hour (rushing, driving, and no time to check emails). The last time I went was when they cancelled my appointment via email again ONLY 10 MINUTES prior to the appointment. I could tolerate everything else, but this was very unacceptable and it happened so many times. Then they asked me why they haven’t seen me in several weeks. Well, this is why.

Dr. Heyert is an outstanding, knowledgeable, kind, and talented chiropractor. I have been to many, and she ranks at the very top. She has a vast understanding of the spine and was able to rid me of my migraine headaches and intense shoulder pain (which had plagued me for years). She also takes a holistic approach, and takes the time to get to the root of the pain, which not all chiropractors do. She is not a «quick adjustment and send you on your way» doctor… she spends ample time with each patient, determines all possible causes of pain and misalignment, and works at solving the problem rather than just offering a quick fix. Before Dr. Heyert, I did not have a lot of respect or trust in chiropractors, as I work in the medical field (which can be quite disparaging of this profession). She quickly taught me that a good chiropractor has as much knowledge (if not more) about the spine than an orthopedic doctor, and a good chiropractor can save you from unnecessary back/​spinal surgeries and years of pain medications. Do yourself a favor and visit Dr. Heyert. I will forever be grateful that I came to her rather than sticking with the heavy duty migraine pills my neurosurgeon prescribed. I no longer have migraines and I no longer need pain meds. I recommend her without hesitation.

Dr. Heyert is the best chiropractor I have ever seen, and I have been going to a chiropractor since I was a kid. She is caring, warm, and a great listener. She is also a talented practitioner and really knows how to pinpoint an issue before beginning to work on the problem (s).
My husband and I have both been seeing her for more than a year, and we have also brought our one year old to see her. She is wonderful with our son, and I credit her care to his excellent health since birth. She gently massages his back and neck, and checks to make sure he is developing well. I’m confidant that this type of preventative care will really contribute to his wellness in the long run.
I highly recommend Dr. Heyert. She is an exceptional doctor and healer.

Holley is amazing and she genuinely cares about her patients. She takes the time to properly assess your problem and then gives you the proper treatment according to what needs to be done. Compared to other chiros she goes above and beyond to make you feel better. Highly recommended

When I was going to college in Boston, my back was so screwed up that it hurt to even get out of bed. One day a friend of mine recommended Dr. Heyert to me; and I went once a week for my last year of college until I graduated.
It has been 4+ years now, and the work that Dr. Heyert did to my back has had a lasting effect on the health of my spine. What she did for my back has helped me live a much fuller, pain free life since graduation.
Thank you Dr. Heyert for all that you have done!

Dr. Heyert is an amazing doctor and person! She is always so warm and sincerely interested in our treatment discussions and personal conversations. I was going about 2 times a week at one point in my treatment, and I always looked forward to the sessions. Due to her work, my neck and back problems are much better! When I was pregnant, she made sure to accomodate my changing body/​needs and always made sure I was comfortable. She even took supplemental classes to learn more about different treatments for pregnant patients. I couldn’t ask for a better person to be my chiropractor!

Dr. Heyert is a gifted chiropractor and an amazing person. From the first appointment she makes you feel like the most important patient she has ever had. She is affordable and her staff is always very helpful as well! I recommend her practice to anyone.

Dr. Heyert is one of the most caring and concerned individuals I know. She always have availability when I need it, is flexible when work issues come up and I need to reschedule at the last minute and most importantly, she seems to almost have like a sixth sense as to what I need. I recently had a terrible cold, was feeling terrible and she gave me extra TLC and I literally turned the corner and started to feel better later that day. I have been a patient for a while because i have a recurring/​chronic condition and I always look forward to getting my treatments.
She is very passionate about her work and wants you to understand your issues and treatment plan.
I would highly recommend Back Bay Chiropractic to my family and friends.

I have had chronic back pain as long as I can remember, and back issues are hereditary in my family, so I have been seeing chiropractors for many years. Before I moved to this side of the country, I had a great chiropractor back in the Seattle area so I was kind of picky when I moved out to Boston.
Dr. Heyert has been absolutely fantastic in the time that I have been seeing her, from the very first visit! She sat me down to discuss what my main problems were, took x-​rays, and laid out a plan to help me reach a point where I don’t wake up every morning wondering if I’m going to get another headache from neck tension.
She is so comfortable to be around, and it really helps a person relax while getting an adjustment, along with well placed heating pads and some light massage to loosen up the muscles around particularly tight joints. All around, she helps me feel great physically, and her office is so welcoming. It’s a great environment to be in and comes highly recommended if you are looking for chiropractic care in the Boston area!

A home away from home. Whenever I need to relax, I go to Back Bay Chiropractic. Free snacks, fantastic care, and new friends!

I went to Holley for a year and a half until I moved away from Boston.
Within the first week of treatment, Holley and Dianna knew me by name and would ask me about my studies and activities specifically, which I find to be very impressive considering they have up to twenty people come in each day. They were friendly and welcoming, and I immediately felt at ease in the environment.
After taking x-​rays, we found out that I had a slight scoliosis, and I started going to treatment three days a week. As a college student, I generally wouldn’t be able to afford this kind of care, so let’s just say that the service is, well, «affordable».
About eight months into treatment, I had a muscle spasm in my back. I emailed Back Bay Chiropractic on Friday morning and was given the first appointment that day. I slowly made my way there, and Holley spent over forty-​five minutes treating me with hot packs and massage. What made this particular moment stick out to me, though, was the fact that the next afternoon, I received a call from Holley making sure I was doing better. Despite the fact that she has the weekends off, she took the time to call to see if I was okay. To me, this is a great example of how much she cares about her patients.
In my last week of care, I took another x-​ray and we found out that my scoliosis had actually been cured.
I would recommend Holley to everyone. She is caring and kind, and very good at her job!

Dr. Holley Heyert has honestly changed my life. I came in with incredibleeck and lower back pain. As a singer, tension in mmy neck due to a car accident in my youth was really inhibiting my ability to excell in my technique.
I started going three times a week as suggested for my first round of treatment, and within a month I felt COMPLETELY different! My posture was much better and my neck/​shoulders were so much less tense. This was totally evident in my xrays.
The other amazing thing that I attribute her treatment to was the progress I was making with mmy signing. Due to a better alignment in my neck and shoulders, I really believe that it helped me with my placement and breath overall. I was finding it easier and easier to see.
Along with excellent treatment, I also enjoyed my warm and excited greetings as I cam through the door. It was nice to know that my doctor knew my name, and remembered what I was doing the last time I saw her. She invests herself in her patients and truly cares about seeing them better.
Her office is in downtown Boston, so of course you should not expect it to be a mansion with 5 individual rooms. But thats part of the convenience of her practice. It’s neat, tidy, and of course clean! I would totally recommend Holley to a friend with 100% confidence that they will enjoy her treatments.
Chiropractic care is a health and physical treatment. Not to be mistaken for a gentle/​relaxing massage therapy (though I do find it very relaxing). But essentially she is re-​aligning your skeleton, so disregard any reviews that seems disappointed. It sounds to me like they should be looking for gentle massage and oil, not true chiropractic help.
No to mention, Diana (her receptionist) is LOVELY! I will miss Holley once I’m gone!

I’ve been going to Dr. Heyert for over 10 years ever since I lived in Boston and even now that I’ve moved away I still go back to see her when I come to town. That is how good she is. She’s terrific at making my back feel better but she’s also a really nice person. I highly recommend her.

I have been receiving chiropratic services with Holley for over a month 2 times per week. Holley is excellent! I have seen multiple chiropractors over the years in other states. Holley is by far the best chiropractor I have worked with.
Holley takes a detailed and careful approach to diagnosis and works at the pace of her clients to help ensure you leave feeling better, not worse.
I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of chiropratic services. Holley is amazing!

I am brazilian student at Berklee College of Music and have been going to Back Bay Chiropractic since summer 09! I have to say it was the best decision I could have taken! My posture has gotten so much better at my instrument, my hand pains (which were severe) have gotten better and still gets better by every session. Dr Heyert is great, fun, interested in helping you… Just perfect!!!

Like Marie, I also went to see Dr. Heyert because of the recommendations I saw on Unilocal (before I was a member, too). I’d never been to a chiropractor before, but my insurance covers the visits and last week I was having insane back problems. So I made an appointment to figure this business out.
My first visit was just to see what my problems were. Dr. Heyert took pictures of my back, and she spent some time trying to figure out what my biggest issues were. She doesn’t do alignments on the first day because she needs to review her notes, but she knew I was in a good amount of pain, so she let me rest for a bit with a heating pad on my back, and then she gave me a five minute massage before putting more heat on my back.
The next day I went back and learned I have more problems than I thought. She explained everything to me perfectly so that I was able to understand where my problems areas were and what needed to happen in order to correct my alignment and posture. She explained everything, had me lay down, and then she started aligning. Whoa. I’ve never heard such weird noises as a result of my own body. I couldn’t stop laughing between all the cracking and the pops. I’d never had my neck cracked before, so when she started to go for it I was so scared, but the relief I felt right afterward was incredible.
Dr. Heyert is extremely gentle, but she does what she needs to do. You are also her main concern when you are laying on the bed, and she wants to do whatever she can to make you feel better. Another awesome thing about her is that she knows you by name and face right after your second visit. That’s pretty awesome for someone who has their own private practice and a lot of different patients.
Her assistant is great too. His name is Simon, and he’s pretty chill. He’s a nice person to greet you when you first arrive, that’s for sure. I can’t wait to go back today to get re-​aligned. I also can’t wait to laugh at myself again every time she cracks my back. Hilarious.

I’ve had problems with my back since high school, and now that I’m in my final year at Northeastern I’ve gone to quite a few chiropractors. I left my last chiropractor because I couldn’t afford the $ 40 co-​payments (yipes).
I discovered Dr. Heyert through Unilocal,and I couldn’t be happier. She is incredibly caring and always seems happy to see her patients. The office is peaceful and comfortable, and it’s right on Newbury Street, so that’s super convenient for me.
Dr. Heyert provides special consideration for Berklee students and Northeastern students who have the Northeastern insurance (NUSHIP), and probably other students, too (those are just the ones I know of for sure). Read: very, VERY affordable. No reason not to go if you have any sort of back or neck pain.
I went in for my first appointment, and it was a quick and pleasant evaluation. She checked out my back, had me turn my head side to side, etc., and then asked if I wanted to take a picture for a «before and after». I thought that there probably wouldn’t be too much of a visual difference, but went ahead with it anyway. She suggested a treatment plan, and set a re-​evaluation for 4 weeks later.
I began my treatments the next day, and I absolutely love them. It’s so relaxing to lie there with heating pads on and to just rest, and then the adjustments give me a big pain relief. I really look forward to my appointments, but even if something comes up suddenly and I have to cancel or switch my appointment, Dr. Heyert is always extremely accomodating. I’ve called the day of to switch my appointment to the next day and there is no problem at all, unlike with previous chiropractors which would have charged me a fee.
One of the most surprising things I have found about working with Dr. Heyert came four weeks after my first appointment when we took another picture for the before and after. My back is very noticeably MUCH straighter! Even without this result I would have kept going for the relaxation and the pain relief, but the before and after shot was just another great thing about Dr. Heyert’s practice.
I could go on and on about how great Dr. Heyert is, but I’ll wrap it up. Just go check her out, there is no referral or anything needed, just call her up and say «I’d like to make an appointment»!

I called Dr. Heyert to get an appointment after reading the great reviews on Unilocal.She personally answered the phone and was extremely pleasant. Unfortunately, she is out of network on my insurance. When I asked for a referral to someone who accepts my insurance she recommended her personal chiropractor to me. I feel very thankful she didn’t try to convince me to see her at a greater cost to me and gave me such a recommendation. I’ll review the doctor she referred when I’m able to get an appointment.

Holly is not only a fantastic chirporactor, but a wonderful person. She is relaxing, caring, attentive, professional, and concerned about getting your body right.
She takes the insurance that is offered to Berklee students — which means she’s totally free! No co-​payments (since I’ve been there). This is a wonderful benefit for students who are covered in the Back Bay area. Check with your school/​insurance to see what your policy covers. I know berklee has a provision for chiropractic care.

Dr. Heyert is one of the most caring and effective chiropractors I have dealt with. She truly explores your symptoms and conducts research to tailor a treatment regiment/​plan that fits your needs.
I highly recommend at least a consultation with her. Her experience, care and meticulous attention to detail will make you feel like her only client.
